RCandy

RCandy: R-based visualization of bacterial homologous recombination

RCandy visualizes homologous recombination events in bacterial genomes to identify genomic regions recently affected by recombination and support comparative genomic analyses.

Key Features:

• Recombination Visualization: Generates customizable graphical representations of homologous recombination events across bacterial genomes.
• Flexible Analysis Options: Supports tailored visualization parameters to explore recombination patterns across strains or species.

Scientific Applications:

• Bacterial Genomics and Evolution: Identifies recombined genomic regions to investigate genetic diversity, adaptive mechanisms, and antibiotic resistance, and to compare recombination patterns among bacterial strains or species.

Methodology:

RCandy is implemented in R and processes genomic data to produce visual representations of homologous recombination events within bacterial genomes.
